Make the most

Yeah, I know, it's been awhile. We've had a week of snow (like everyone else) and a week of the hubby being out of town, so I've felt a little overwhelmed and my free time has been scarce. I have also seemed to have hit a personal creative wall since my art classes started back. Plus, in January I started a wonderful Bible study called Woman on A Mission, by Linda Slaton(womanonamission.net) or see herblog. I've been looking forward to doing this study since spring, and each week I attend, God continues to affirm that I'm in the right place by being there. I've really committed to make this study a top priority right now so I can hopefully get a clear vision of my mission. I love what Linda says about living intentionally. I can truly say that this study has already changed my life and I'm only four weeks into it. It has also really caused me to evaluate how I spend my time; and so I've really been praying about my priorities and blogging. I'm not real sure that this is where God wants me investing my energy right now....so I'm going to continue to pray about it and post "when I have time" instead of taking time away from my priorities. The art above was inspired by where I am right now in my life.

On the home front, I've started to tackle some of my "energy drainers" - a new term I've learned from my Bible study. I was so tired of the bed in the playroom being a trampoline, I moved it out last weekend. All I had to do was mention "Family TV room" and before I could even explain, guess what the hubby ran out and purchased??? Yep, a new flat screen. Men and technology. So I guess the plans for furniture will have to wait a couple months--but at least I'm headed in the right direction....and I have my husband's ringing endorsement. And did you notice....I finally got my sign up!!!

One of my favorite things to do it drink my coffee in the morning while I have my quiet time, and I kind-of have this thing for cool coffee mugs. Here's my newest mug....it just makes me happy! It also inspired me to start on the playroom because I LOVE the color combination. I had been waiting for something to jump start me and this $2.50 purchase did the trick. My walls in the playroom are already a gold/yellow color so I'm going to accent with browns, blues, orange and greens. I love this chair from target---fun, yet sophisticated. I'm thinking about a futon type couch (I need something that makes into a bed). I'd love your opinions or suggestions. We don't have a whole lot of overnight guests, but I'd still like it to be pretty comfortable.

About Me

I'm a wife and mom of three first, and I am humbled each day that God continues to pursue me. I know I couldn't make it through one of my crazy days without His help. My "Calgon moment" is creating. I love to paint, craft, decorate and redecorate, cook or just browse the isles of any craft store. I started this blog to share the things I create, and hopefully inspire you to do the same. I hope you find something here that "wakes up" your creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

JUST FOR THE RECORD......

I love to create, and I love to inspire others to create. That's why I post to my blog, so I can share ideas with others. I know as an artist, I am always inspired by things other artists or crafters create. It is never my intent to copy someone's idea, I always try to put own own spin on something, or create a work of art out of something that personally inspires me; like a scripture, quote, pattern or colors, etc. I don't mind at all if you try my ideas, like art on a Pizza Box, but please make it your own. My designs are original and mean something to me, so please don't copy them, especially for the purpose of profit. Feel free to repost anything you see on this blog, (except for photos of my family) as long as you give proper credit, and I'd love to know you've done so...it will make my day! Thanks so much.
